**Profiling**

Profiling is, in a nutshell, assessing how quickly the various parts of your program run.  Most often, you'll want your program to run fast, and using a profiler to find slow spots can help you decide what needs work.  There is a simple profiler package included in [tcllib]: http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/doc/profiler.html

[Profiling Tcl] has more on the subject.
